Briefcase (May 23)

Wolverine Bank officials led tours through their new $2.2 million facility Tuesday.

Most of the employees moved into the new building at 5710 Eastman Ave. last October, with the second move-in phase in March.

Fifty employees work in the new building, which has office space for growth, said Cheri Friske, director of sales and marketing.

The building has four conference rooms for mortgage officers to meet with clients, and customers have access to an automatic teller machine in the back.

By locating the building near the corner of Eastman Avenue and Dilloway Drive, customers may use Dilloway to enter or leave the bank instead of busy Eastman, Friske noted.

Bank president David Dunn pointed out the construction was completed on time and on budget. Pumford Construction was the lead contractor.

Wolverines downtown office, which was the former headquarters, continues to serve customers.
